Engaging Students with Technology in a Hybrid Classroom

Want to engage elementary and middle school students in math and integrate technology into your hybrid math class? We’ll discuss the planning and implementation strategies used to create a class on fractions where one group of students will use online simulations called Gizmos in direct instruction, a second group will use Gizmos in collaborative groups, while a third group of students will work independently to build their math fact fluency with an online program called Reflex.

Audience: K-8

Devices: iPads, Chromebooks, Laptops

Outline of Presentation:

· Characteristics of Hybrid Classrooms

· A sample day of a fractions unit

· Best practices

· Reflex

· Additional activities
